More from the test

First of all I would like to say that these are my own, personal, subjective views more than a scientifical and objective review. I am, after all, a bit biased.

The sample we were sailing was an early build, one of the first ones, and as such there were some minor issues. The shelves were not removed on this boat, and the locks did not all fit snugly, but this is something the later production boats have corrected. Anyways, the locks are adjustable so this is nothing to worry about.

Elan 310 - the trip

Okay, here is a brief description of the trip I recently did to testsail the Elan 310...actual review to come later.

It all started when Tor and I were talking about testsailing the 310 in Slovenia, and Rob told Tor that this time of year we should really test the boat in Poole instead, because of the poor wind conditions in Slovenia this time of year. That turned out to be a good decision, as we will see later. Click the title to read on...

Back from Poole

I just got back from testing the Elan 310 with Fjord Sail and Seilmagasinet in Poole. Great trip, where we met up with Jim, who is a pilot in Poole as well as a long-time Elan sailor. We got to test the 310 in varying conditions, starting at about 15 knots and increasing somewhat throughout the day.
